I tried share names such as "TestShare", "TestShareSJ", "AFPtesting". All of them throw the same error.

Did you purchase your RN314 (new) between 1 June 2014 and 31 May 2016? If so, you have lifetime chat support. Using support would be a good next step.

It was purchased in June 2016. I guess chat support was only available for 3 months from the date of purchase.
But will try... thanks
